Group pickup
Departure is 5:30 am from the group's pickup point. Since Mysore's shops and most eateries close before ten at night, a group that wants sweets or sarees on the way home should aim to be back in the city earlier. Kotilingeshwara is about 240 km from here, around five and a half hours with breaks. Big bags go to the rear, and puja items stay on the racks. Water bottles stay in hand.
Tea
At this early hour the mini bus halts in Mandya only for chai, though the region's farm meal, ragi balls with a country chicken curry, is worth a lunch on another trip. Mandya, 45 km from Mysore, is the district headquarters and a sugar town; its first sugar factory dates from 1933. A quarter hour off the expressway on the service road, then back on. On the way home, the sugarcane juice stalls here make a good break.
Breakfast
Breakfast for the mini bus group is at Bidadi, about 110 km from Mysore. Thatte idli, a bigger, flatter idli steamed on a plate, is the local dish, and several joints along the old road can feed a busload together. The expressway passes the town, so the driver uses the exit to the service road. Allow twenty five minutes, then the bus takes NICE Road round the city. Orders go in together to save time.
Tea
The biryani of Hoskote is mostly mutton, eaten as breakfast by people driving out from the city, but by the time the mini bus arrives, about 175 km from Mysore, it is chai time. The bus pulls into a roadside hotel with room to park for twenty minutes. From Hoskote, routes to Kolar, Tirupati and Kotilingeshwara keep to NH75. Kolar is about 35 km on, a quick run on the four lane road.
Tea
NH75 continues from Kolar to Mulbagal, the last Karnataka town before Andhra Pradesh, but the mini bus leaves it at Kolar, about 210 km from Mysore, for the road south east towards KGF and Kammasandra. Kolar has long been called the gateway to Tirumala and Chennai on this highway. A twenty minute halt covers tea and the restroom. The temple is about 30 km on, through farmland. Fuel is easy at the bypass.
Drop at the temple
The mini bus reaches Kammasandra about five and a half hours after Mysore. Bangarpet, about 14 km away, and KGF, nearer still, have more hotels and fuel than the village. The bus parks in the temple lot. Fix a meeting time, keep footwear in the bus, and carry water, as the grounds are large and open, with long rows of shrines to walk past. Elders can rest in the shade near the entrance.
Need a Mysore to Kotilingeshwara mini bus for a temple group of 20? Pickup is at one point in Mysuru, go round Bangalore to Hoskote and Kolar, and reach the giant linga at Kammasandra by early afternoon. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore with Tejas Tours & Travels.

By road Kotilingeshwara is about 240 km from Mysore, about 480 km for the round trip. The mini bus uses the expressway past Mandya and Bidadi, NICE Road round the city to Hoskote, then NH75 to Kolar and on to Kammasandra near KGF. It takes about 5.5 hours of driving with stops.
It is a very long day. Most groups stay a night in Kolar or Bangalore.
The driver gets a night allowance when the drive goes late into the night. It is shown in the quote. On our Mysore card that is ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night.
Yes. They are billed at cost with parking, outside the km fare.
The 22 or 25 seater. See mini bus on rent in Mysore.
It can be done. Give us the date and head count, and the one way fare comes back in writing.
Yes. The road is good all year. Summer afternoons on the Kolar plateau are hot, and the temple grounds have little shade, so the mini bus aims to arrive by late morning. Carry caps and water, and plan darshan before the strongest heat.
For a day trip, day bags with water, snacks and puja items are enough, and they ride on the racks. For a night in Kolar or Bangarpet, one medium bag each fits in the rear. Tell us at booking if the group carries large offerings or cooking items.
